title: The development of personal computer-based medical consultation system for diagnosis of congenital malformation syndromes using MUMPS.
abstract: This paper describes a medical consultation system for diagnosis of congenital malformation syndromes. The system consists of a personal computer, NEC PC-98XL (MS-DOS), using SP-MUMPS for the retrieval of knowledge data, and BASIC for the input/output of image data. This system displays pictorial knowledge and is designed so users can build up the knowledge base, as needed, by adding knowledge from medical literature and records of patients actually treated.
